List of countries by population density
List of countries/dependencies by population density in inhabitants/km2.
Unlike the figures in the country articles, the figures in this table are
based on areas including inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers) and
may therefore be lower here.

Analysis
Countries/dependencies which each have the property that it is the most
densely populated country among all countries/dependencies with its size and
larger (i.e. there is no country/dependency both larger and more densely
populated), in order of increasing size and decreasing density: Macau, Hong
Kong, Bangladesh, Japan, India, Mainland China, United States, Russia.
Considering independent countries only the first two entries in this list
are replaced by Monaco and Singapore.
Countries/dependencies which each have the property that it is the least
densely populated country among all countries/dependencies with its size and
larger (i.e. there is no country/dependency both larger and less densely
populated), in order of increasing size and increasing density: Greenland,
Australia, Canada, Russia.
If Greenland is not counted as a country it is replaced in this list by Mongolia.
Countries/dependencies
236 countries and dependencies are listed, the same as List of countries by
population, except that the two Palestinian territories are combined in one
entry, Serbia and Montenegro are listed separately, and Niue is considered a
dependency; thus in this list we have 194 countries and 42 dependencies.
Another difference is that above the dependencies are not grouped according
to the governing country.
What to list separately is not always obvious. For example, Hawaii and the
Canary Islands are not listed, but French Guiana and Hong Kong are. Saint
Helena is listed, but not its dependency Tristan da Cunha.
